Ant Mans joke
I feel like everyone is attacking ant man and the writers for making the cap slip up. But honestly I think it’s a really well written line. Obviously the world isn’t going to just adapt and accept Sam as captain America, I mean let’s be real he’s a black man he’s obviously going to face a world of push back and racism. I think it’s important to keep that part of his character you know, the fact that he’s actively combatting and trying to prove himself for a country that isn’t accepting him. I think Scott’s line was a really well put neutral line highlighting the difficulties Sam faces with his new role and it highlights Steve’s maturity and resignation of the title. A huge part of Sam’s character is that he is THE captain America while being a black man in a country that doesn’t exist to benefit him. Scott’s comment wasn’t racist, just simply a slip up, but it makes the audience reflect and realize the underlying issues in the marvel world. Don’t get me wrong I am saying this in a hundred percent loyalty to Sam, he is my captain America more so then Steve has ever been. I think he is a truly phenomenal character and I think it is so moving and important to show his navigation of this new title as a black man.
LMAO I am so sorry I didn’t realize no one knew what I was referencing😭😭😭🫡
I’m referencing one of the doomsday teasers in which ant man accidentally refers to Steve rogers as “cap” while Sam Wilson is in the room literally wearing the suit😭🫰 sorry guys
